Boardwalk Empire, whats not accurate about it Knuckles?
Lucky Luciano, for example, is portrayed as an volitile, restless knucklehead. And Torrio is just a simple pimp and a smalltime bootlegger according to the writers and producers of the show.
Well, Luciano is only about 25 at the time and there probably is not much if anything on the record about his personality. Also, it doesn't appear that Torrio was one to think outside the box. That's why Capone "prompted" him to retire.
If I´m not mistaken, when researching for his book "Lucky Luciano; the Real and the Fake Gangster", Tim Newark came across prison records and psychological evaluation of Luciano describing him as a mild mannered, laid back, cool under pressure-type of a guy. Shy, with an above average intelligence.
And Joseph Bonanno describes him as calm, not particulary talkative but a brilliant organizer. In any tv show or movie dealing with Lucky Luciano, to me it would be far more interesting to depict him in this way (which would be the correct way), than to shape his character into a stereotypical Sicilian (whatever that may be).
But wtf, if people want to see a hottempered, sexcrazed Luciano, that´s how any producer will depict him as.
